Kathleen Blanco breaks her arm!

I would not be too surprised to see the governor of Louisiana with her arm in a cast, given how much of her finger pointing has turned around to be things that are her fault / responsibility / dereliction of duty.

In one of her more recent shreiks, The Democrat (i.e. incompentent) Governor Blanco of Louisiana was ranting against FEMA for not picking up all of the bodies floating around her state in a more timely matter. She was "offended" by the "lack of effort" on FEMA's part in retrieving the bodies, asserting that these bodies needed to be treated with as much respect as the living (a concept that I never really understood, but that's a different story).

One could only hope that Ms. Blanco would have as much concern about the respect for the truth of her statements as she has for the swelling bodies floating down the canels.

FEMA reps were bewildered by Ms. Blanco's remarks, given that they had received word from Ms. Blanco's office that the Louisiana officials were going to take care of the bodies, not FEMA. When asked about this later, state officials avoided the subject.

At what point do we simply slap on the straight jacket, duct tape her mouth, and haul her off to the funny farm? More importantly, will the news media make as big of a deal out of the TRUTH as I am sure that they did in reporting the original accusation ... I won't hold my breath. More importantly, will anybody (other than conservative blogs) accumulate and report on the misinformation campaign perpetuated at every level of the liberal movement?

What has been interesting about this entire hurricane situation is how many times the liberals stand up in outrage over something ... always blaming President Bush for the problem, and then we find out (often times in less than a few hours) that it was other liberals who were responsible for whatever it was that had gone wrong. What is even more amazing is how often the liberal doing the whining is EXACTLY the person that was responsible for causing the problem (as is the case here)!!! Remember when you were a kid, you learned that when you are involved in something really bad that you screwed up, you keep your mouth shut? In our crazy world, the more a liberal screws up, the more they bitch and scream and holler about it, the more their friends jump in! What is really surprising is that it seems to be working to some extent.

Perhaps that should not be so surprising, since the media keeps leading their broadcasts with the shreiks and blame (when it is directed at FEMA / Bush), but somehow the followup story / retraction never quite makes it out or else it gets buried at the end of the broadcast or article.
